Chapter 378
Suddenly, He Yuxin met the sight of the corpse that rolled out.
It was a young man who died with his eyes open, bloodshot eyes, hideous face, and he was wearing a bloodstained inner garment instead of a shroud.
A sense of horror exploded from his back, and He Yuxin's first reaction was to stop looking at it.
He Yuxin was not the only one who saw the corpse rolling out of the coffin. Others also saw it, and it was so far away that everyone saw it clearly.
Someone screamed at this time, saying that he died with his eyes open, and so on.
The group of people who were fighting stopped fighting and quickly separated, and then some put the corpse back and some came to block the sight of the people on their side. A middle-aged man came over with a smile and explained to them that he did not die with his eyes open, and they had seen it wrong.
After all, this was someone else's family's business. Although everyone thought it was strange, they were not an ordinary funeral procession, and they did not want to cause trouble, so they explained it on the other side and they shut up on their side.
This episode seemed to end just like that.
While those people were still collecting the bodies, they went over first. When she looked back, the people carrying the coffin were still complaining to each other that they didn't lift the coffin steadily, which was really unlucky.
And the person being accused was also very unconvinced and said that the coffin was too heavy.
He Yuxin's last look was when they closed the coffin and lifted it up again.
It was just that maybe the nails were nailed on the coffin board, and they didn't have the right tools to nail the coffin board again, so the coffin board was a little tilted and not completely covered.
He Yuxin looked away and wanted to concentrate on her way, but when she was about to leave that place, she suddenly saw a hand reaching out from the gap in the coffin!
He Yuxin turned back suddenly, but found that the coffin was still the same coffin, and the gap was still the same gap. What she saw just now seemed to be just an illusion.
But He Yuxin stared at that direction, and her heartbeat was inexplicably fast.
At this time, she felt something touching her hand.
She looked down subconsciously with a start, and saw a vine with small flowers.
He Yuxin stared at the flower for two seconds, and before she could look away, she heard Jin Xiaoshu's voice coming from the sedan.
"Don't look up."
Just three words, but He Yuxin's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously held her breath, and then slowly returned to normal.
She didn't look up, but maintained the current height of her eyes, and continued to walk like a cautious little maid.
But she kept adjusting the angle, and her peripheral vision gradually moved up. She needed to know what happened...
Then, in her peripheral vision, she saw a touch of white on the jadeite sedan.
He Yuxin only saw a corner of white and avoided it, staring at the ground intently, and no longer looked up.
But she had restored that scene in her mind.
Something was lying on the canopy of the sedan chair. It was like a gecko, clinging to the sedan chair with its limbs...
This must not be a coincidence. The corpse in the coffin flashed through He Yuxin's mind.
Her heart was still beating a little fast, but she had already started to complain in her heart.
As expected, weddings and funerals collided at the same time. There was no way anything good could happen in this supernatural copy!
Although her heart was beating incredibly fast, she had calmed down now.
The incident happened suddenly, and now, except for the tachycardia, she had basically recovered.
She was not worried about this thing. With Jin Xiaoshu here, no matter how many of these things came, they would just be sent to the sedan chair.
He Yuxin was still weighing whether this was an accident or someone arranged it.
…
Just like that, the sedan chair went all the way and approached a village. He Yuxin knew that this was their new place to stay.
When arriving at a new place, especially a village like this, the manager needs to go in first to explain the situation and get permission from the village before entering.
The steward went into the village and told the village chief about the matter. He got permission very smoothly and the team moved forward again.
He Yuxin had been keeping her head down, so she didn't realize something was wrong until she reached the village gate.
Why is there a white sail at the entrance of the village!
She didn't look up, but her five senses conveyed a lot of information to her.
She smelled the smell of burning paper in the air, saw the paper ash blown by the wind, heard the mourning music and faint crying...
He Yuxin's heart jumped, and she wanted to look up but held back until she reached the gate of the courtyard, and she asked the bride to get out of the sedan chair.
Jin Xiaoshu still pretended to be her bride, but when she put her hand on He Yuxin's hand, the thin vines followed the hands of the two people, and without anyone noticing, from Jin Xiaoshu's hand to He Yuxin's wrist.
Jin Xiaoshu was invited into the house, and then the door closed. He Yuxin slowly straightened up and her eyes slowly moved up.
She saw the white cloth in the yard. Judging from the number of white cloths, if nothing unexpected happened, this should be the home of the deceased...
He Yuxin turned her head to look for the steward. Her peripheral vision swept over the sedan chair. The white shadow was still on the sedan chair!
After she saw it, she didn't look over there again. The steward happened to be right in front of her line of sight. She walked over normally and asked the steward.
"Why do you live here?"
The steward obviously felt that this yard was unlucky, and his expression was not good. However, he felt embarrassed to be asked this question, and his tone was not very good.
"This is the only empty house in the village..." After a pause, the steward explained: "The deceased was a chaste woman who had no children, no relatives, and no family. The village organized a funeral for her, so she should live in this house."
What is a chaste woman?
A chaste woman is a woman who has been a widow all her life.
It is no exaggeration to say that He Yuxin's mind buzzed.
It's not that He Yuxin thinks the worst about people, but the current situation doesn't allow her not to think about the worst.
Can a woman really keep her integrity quietly?
He Yuxin's understanding of this period came from a natural disaster book she had experienced before.
She was farming everywhere and saw a lot of people's livelihood.
She had to admit that in the social background of ancient times, women were a vulnerable group.
Anyone can be bullied, but even if you are bullied, you don’t dare to say anything.
He Yuxin asked the steward with her last hope.
"How old was the deceased?"
The steward glanced at He Yuxin sideways, as if he didn't understand why she was asking about this, but he answered anyway.
"Seventeen. The man died just a year ago. I was so sad that I finally let him go."
He Yuxin turned around and left immediately after hearing this.
Why just go with a man? Most likely he was wronged and didn't dare to show off and take his own life!
He Yuxin really hoped that her guess was wrong.
The village was very lively today. People in the village were trumpeting the "nobility" of the chaste woman. Her funeral was a big one. Not only did children throw pots and banners for her, but the villagers also raised funds to hire a troupe to come to the village to perform operas.
It's getting close to the end, it's so stuck, my god...
